As you probably already know, Rajon Rondo is out for the rest of the year with an ACL tear. But the players didn’t know that as they beat the Heat in double OT. Heat fans were actually pretty respectful when the news broke about Rondo. They weren’t quite as respectful about their own team, though. Kind of amazing how fans of the defending champs can complain about their team so much. Oh and they also have the best player in the game and the best record in the East. But they were furious with this game nonetheless.

Top Three

we have 5 players on the floor each time right? o offense too?? can we use all 5? really??

Poor Lebron. He has Wade on his team

dwyane wade is no longer my favorite player, thank god i wasn't in the td garden tonight because i would whoop that **** ass...

Player of the game (Miami fans react to Rondo’s season-ending injury)

I hate Rondo, but never would wish injury upon him. I hope he gets a speedy recovery.

wow rondo has a torn ACL...feel very sorry for him

i wonder if the celtics fans, celtics players & heat players heard the news about rondo. it seemed like the action slowed down a bit and the td garden is very quiet compared to earlier...

let s stop with the karma bs. As much as you may hate Rondo don t be disrespectful

Full Slate

Boston is desperate and a little worn out. Nice time to really step on their throats.

Hopefully Jesus goes off. I would love for him to rain down 3's while the Boston crowds boos him.

Ray Allen's return, they'll make an effort to get him the ball. And he'll show them what they're missing. I can't wait for this matchup, the Celtics are struggling and are gonna want this game.

It's time to bury the Boston Relics once and for all

I want this one bad... worse than I want to punch Bill Simmons in the mouth and worse than how hard I just rolled my eyes at finding out Hubie Brown was commentating.

lol @ some of the celtics fans in the arena booing ray allen... let's get this win for ray ray & end our 9 game losing streak at boston...

A lot of the air just got taken out of my sails with that Rondo news. I want to beat these **** with all their pieces. They didn't say it was definite, so I hope he can still get out there.

rondo ruins everything
going back to sleep

if rondo doesn't play and we still lose to these mf's then i'm going to be extremely pissed...

just rewatched the terry 3 pointer...can t believe how bad Ray Allen is on defense wow

i can't believe we are letting the retirement home run with us on the fast break and wade is trying too hard right now... i hate when a star player is missing on the opposing team because miami doesn't know how to adjust. i just hope this game doesn't turn out like how that knicks game did earlier in the season where they beat us without melo...

I already know the Celtics will win this one...everyone opponent is always so motivated when they play us...they always play their heart out

The celtics already look tired

ugh why did ray allen take that shot? and man kg is really getting exposed. he's old, the only reason why he still puts up big numbers offensively is because of rondo...

haha if pierce doesn't step it up then he's getting traded...

i'm not liking our ball movement so far, got to give credit to the celtics defense because they always make our offense look stagnant in the halfcourt game. we need to force more turnovers badly & luckily ray got bailed out on that play...

aparently rondo torn his acl? is it true?
this means celtics season over

Maybe if Lebron yells and1 enough they'll give him one

But probably not.

lol i wonder why rl did that tho? he was trying to choke chubby sully...

HUBIE BROWN #1 CHEERLEADER FOR THE CELTS

if chalmers isnt shooting the 3, he is useless..the worst point guard in the league...

I love how the Celtics play like it s game 7 of the Finals and we are barely giving 70% percent effort...still tied game

Two things can happen... we bust out and bulldoze them over in the 3rd, or we stay head to head with Boston still. Worse case scenario... Boston busts out against us. That would really suck.

Did Mike Miller commit some sort of crime? I would assume thats the only reason hes not playing today and people like Rashard are playing 10+ minutes....

smh here goes paul pierce faking injuries again...

I hate Hubie and Tirico. This is such a douchey pair of douchebags calling games. Ugh. What game is Hubie watching? Bosh didn't hit Pierce. He bodied him though.

Wade and Bosh are just disengaged, so much for winning one for Ray.

Wade can't get any passes. Boston playing great D

The celtics playing super hard right now while we're just chillin

refs just giving the celtics calls now smh...

yep we're about to lose this game, i'm not liking our offense at all in this game and on top of that our defense has been made weak so far...

We shouldnt be surprised because we never get any calls at the garden.

garnett hit haslem on the arm just sayin...of course espn shows no replay of the play

Chalmers is the most stupid, overrated and one dimensional pg of the league!

i remember a comment doc made about how the celtics just play like they want everything handed to them, they don't put the effort in that they need to win. well that's how miami is playing and man rondo tore his acl foreal...

wow rondo has a torn ACL...feel very sorry for him

I've seen a lot of Celts fans boasting on how much better they play with Rondo out.

I can recount several Celtic fans wishing a heat player tear an acl.

Dumb turnovers. Dumb fouls. Dumb team. -.-

I hate Rondo, but never would wish injury upon him. I hope he gets a speedy recovery.

i wonder if the celtics fans, celtics players & heat players heard the news about rondo. it seemed like the action slowed down a bit and the td garden is very quiet compared to earlier...

I'd never wish injury on any player, and I've been open about how bad I felt about Rose. I'd love to see that guy return to action. But Rondo? I don't wish injury on him (didn't even know he was injured until today), but I feel no pity or sympathy towards him at all. One of less than a handful of athletes in all of sports that I just don't like

let s stop with the karma bs. As much as you may hate Rondo don t be disrespectful

we're playing right into the celtics hands by settling for all these jump shots...

Yeah, but Boston is playing defense like it's the playoffs. They have good perimeter defense, and are getting a lot of pressure on the ball. I'm not surprised we can't carve them up right now.

Wade always seems to struggle against the Celtics in the regular season ever since our Big 3 was formed.

Is this our worst game of the season offensively? I wouldn't be surprised.

what's up with our transition defense today? the celtics look much younger then us right now smh...

****, I don't care about the political correctness of this damn franchise and its policies.
You're suffering because your bigs are garbage. Don't tell me you can't bring Birdman in for the sake of change. It is not going to hurt any worse.

Green just poster'd Bosh

And Bosh just got baptized

Holy shot Green...lol embarrassment.

Wario chalmers

Chalmers has been useless tonight. I guess he figured since Rondo isn't playing he doesn't need to prove himself.

chalmers 0 points 4 fouls 3 TO:..great game

Yeah let's just hope to get bailed out by Ray who's jumper is absent tonight or Chalmers who's trash all game. Yep.

Sometimes I wonder why we have all those 3 point shooters on the team if they can t make a three to save their lives

Gotta give credit to Boston. They are locking up the lanes and really closing out on our shooters. Again, they bring their freakin' A game against us ALL THE TIME.

Allen is (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

I f we somehow win this game...I really would nt know why

What's Wade thinking throwing a damn lob to Ray Allen.

Does anyone screams ""DON'T SHOOT IT" whenever Wade looks like he is about to shoot a 3?

Damn Pierce

Yeah **** this game. Worst game of the season.

WADE can never handle the play making duties anymore

that's it

we deserve this L

Can wade not touch the ball?

Hope we lose. Flat garbage tonight.

I guess I don't mind losing this game.... Boston's season is over anyway. Might as well give them their championship game lol.

sometimes I hate this team

what a joke of a performance. the 1 team i REALLY want to beat and we play like this?

Wade throws the ball away and LeBron misses a WIDE open Wade on a cut to the basket and instead force-feeds Battier. What the f*** am I watching?!? They're playing the NBA's version of "can you top my stupidity?".

Ray Allen game winner in Boston would be epic

Ray giving us false hope...lol

HAHAHAHA Ray literary hits the toughest threes ever and misses the lame one open ones...

I can't believe we might actually lose this one. This team doesn't fail to surprise me anymore.

Dude we lost to the freaking wizards. Believe anything.

We better go ape shiz in OT. I think we just broke their back man, they tried so hard. Now they have to face OT.

Anyone spouting that "Miami gets all the calls" BS is a ****ing idiot.

This is the first time I've dared to think this, but Lebron is becoming actually be the GOAT before our eyes 1

look how boston actually runs a play and we don t

man omg wade just slap yourself in the f'n face please...

I think Bosh is officially the 6th option

End this **** game. I got **** to do.

It's funny how the Celtics have an astonishingly smoother offensive flow even with Rondo out... 3 elite offensive weapons and elite shooters and the offense is ugly as hell

Poor Lebron. He has Wade on his team

Dude is reduced to a scrub against Boston in the regular season.

I would trade Spo for thibs a gazillion times

I swear Hubie doent care bout crap and is actively rooting for the celtics. its so obvious

Wade misses the bunny and a slumping Pierce hits a shot in LeBron's face, you had to figure this would happen.

we have 5 players on the floor each time right? o offense too?? can we use all 5? really??

the most deserving loss of the season right here. totally outplayed in every facet of the game

Wade should give back his pay check. Pathetic display of basketball. Knowing Wade he will just say its just another game.

dwyane wade is no longer my favorite player, thank god i wasn't in the td garden tonight because i would whoop that **** ass...
